Nonprofits finding common ground amid budget uncertainty

Kate Rubalcava, chief executive officer of the Utah Nonprofits Association, said her organization is encouraging directors statewide to advocate for their cause, suggesting they work regularly with government representatives to explain how their programs are impacting the community.

At the same time, there is an emphasis on overall financial health, with plans in place to continue serving populations in need whatever funding source they might lose, Rubalcava said.

"Every nonprofit professional leader I’ve spoken to in the last year has not stopped doing their job," she said. "Regardless of the funding situation, they’re still out there, they’re still impacting their communities, and they’re still working toward whatever needs to be done."
